11. Vee, who was hit by a car at the end of season two, has been confirmed as dead by actress Lorraine Touissant. Her death will have a devastating effect on Taystee and a more positive one for Cray Eyes.

12. The plot of season three of "OITNB" has been kept under wraps but we know what the main theme will be. While it's a vague description creator Jenji Koha did reveal that season three will focus on "faith."

13. It has been revealed that model Ruby Rose will be joining the rest of the crew for season three of "Orange is the New Black." Rose will star as Stella Carlin in "OITNB" and her striking looks will attract the attention of both Piper (Taylor Schilling) and Alex (Laura Prepon), Elle magazine reports. With Alex returning due to Piper their reunion may not be a good one. And Rose is sure to cause a rift between the happy couple upon her arrival.

14. Lolly will make her way to Litchfield. While we only met the character briefly, the likeable prisoner from episode one of season two ('Thirsty Bird'), Lori Petty's role was unfortunately very small. Lolly was kind to Piper, they befriended one another and then Piper betrayed her. Many viewers may have hoped to see more of Lolly, and will have their wish granted when Lori Petty returns as a season regular for season three!

15. There will be a lot more nudity in season three. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter "Orange" showrunner Jenji Kohan said, “If I had my way, I’d have a lot more,” speaking of the nudity in the racy dramedy. Speaking about her desire to showcase a variety of shapes, colors and sizes in the flesh, she said, "We still have this prudish, puritanical culture, and we also have so little exposure to diversity in bodies."
